Audio Archaeology Series Volume 3: Brest

Sheet Erosion is the third episode in a series of works based around ideas of audio archaeology and found sounds. The setting this time is the city of Brest in France.

The piece is comprised of field recordings made in early 2020 during the storms Ciara and Desmond plus a batch of found open-reel tape recordings dating from the 70s and 80s. The tapes include domestic home recordings but mostly document the recordist, Michel’s tastes in music and radio programmes of the time. Daily life bleeds into these lo-fi recordings of radio and TV shows. Captured with a mic in front of a speaker rather than directly cabled, ambiguous activities can be heard in the background; babies crying, feedback, chairs scraping and muffled conversations.

In the composition family histories and musical tastes are transposed over a more contemporary soundscape of Brest. Over-saturated tape distorts time as well as sounds. Speeds change. Chronologies become confused. Different instances in time are blended and fused. What seeps through these chronological crevices are events and incidents unmoored from linear time taking place in a chimerical non-space.

Tony Morris is a 72-year-old artist from Glasgow who began exploring various creative pursuits in his late 60s, including music-making, video creation, poetry, and live performance. Often referred to as the "Minimal Synth Ivor Cutler," he has built a large and dedicated following on social media, and his live performances have been met with rapturous acclaim. A recent performance at an Optimo night in Glasgow was met with riotous enthusiasm, with teenage girls screaming his name - this is 100% true.  

Tony has been in communication with JD Twitch for years, making his debut release on Optimo Music a natural fit. His first single is a cover of Dimensional Holofonic Sound's seminal track "House Of God," a song that holds special significance for JD Twitch, who has been playing it since 1990 and has sampled it in multiple remixes (shhhh!). JD Twitch couldn’t resist the opportunity to remix Tony’s version, completing a compelling release package. Tony’s unparalleled rendition of “House Of God”  may well be one of the most unique dancefloor tracks of the year.

Released digitally, Friday September 13th

Piero Peluche: rhythm guitar, solo guitar, sitar guitar, electric piano, electric bass, drums, music, mix & master
electricpaul: vocals, nosy guitar & lyrics


A bit of a twist in the plot here. It was the inimitable Piero Peluche who at first composed the instrumental music. Then electricpaul was challenged with coming up with lyrics and devising a vocal melody. It was Earth Day last and a friend and collaborator suggested that the song might be about Gaëa whilst the inimitable Piero Peluche was looking for a story involving imprudent high jinks of youth, which presented a dilemma. There's some nosy guitar in there as well for good measure.


SCRATCH SCRATCH

I'm gliding over the seas
Over mountain tops  
Turbulance beneath  

Well, You pick it up
And you pack it out
You bring it down
Then you wrap it up

I'm driving along valleys
Levees and riverbeds
Sand and rocky beach  

Yeah, You take it out
And you pack it down
They comes along
and take the lot right out

Winding road rounds  the bend
Where the air is arid and dry
Behold the promised land 

Well, you find a spot
And you line right up
pass in hand
Through the gates and then …

Sun sets to the east
Then the lights come up
And the show begins
 
Got a glass in hand
time to raise it up
Ladies twirl
'round and around

Trudging around in the trees
Can't see the forest for
all of the leaves

You take a break
So to peer about
Ridges, peaks
Alpine rivines 

Winding road rounds  the bend
Where the air is arid and dry
Behold the promised land

You gather up 
And you pack it out
You hike on down
What it's all about

It's never been like this in the home
And I feel that the gist here has gone
The truth is always hidden somewhere around
Goin' to another town

Yeah
Uh-huh

You line 'em up
And then you shoot 'em down
You pick 'em up
And then you knock 'em out
You rock on up
And then you break it down
You light it up
And then you put it out

This is a two and a half minute extract from a much longer piece intended for live performance.

"Hullo, Michael," I said.

'Find Sound' is the debut record from Shards, a London based vocal group led by singer, composer and producer Kieran Brunt. Combining voices, synths and percussion, Find Sound is an astonishing exploration of the human voice; using the concepts of sound and light as simple metaphors for gaining understanding. The album’s pieces are intended to be miniature sonic paintings, with each adding to an overall picture of the emotional confusion of early adulthood: the uncertainty, the excitement, the terror and relief.

After collaborating with Terry Riley in 2016, Brunt was asked by the Barbican to form a choral group for Nils Frahm’s Possibly Colliding festival that summer. Following the success of the shows, Frahm invited Brunt to join him in Berlin to collaborate on choral arrangements for his recent album 'All Melody'. Shards have since gone on to collaborate with other notable artists, including Michael Price on his recent LP 'Tender Symmetry'.

Each of the singers in Shards brings a very distinctive musical personality to the group, something which Brunt was eager to emphasise on their debut record. Rather than aiming for a seamless blend or absolute precision when recording, the differences between voices has been intentionally highlighted — celebrating their unique textures and inviting the listener to hear their minutest details up-close.

"The group ended up consisting almost entirely of friends and friends-of-friends. I also tried my best to ask people who weren’t just singers, but who do have other projects and musical interests. As such, we have people in the group who are also composers, instrumentalists, folk musicians and teachers. It’s a vibrant mix, and I’m constantly discovering new things about them the more we make music together.” — Kieran Brunt

Shards is Kieran Brunt, Lucy Cronin, Sarah Latto, Bethany Horak-Hallett, Kate Huggett, Chris Huggon, Jack Lawrence-Jones, Rose Martin, Augustus Perkins Ray, Oli Martin-Smith, Josephine Stephenson and Héloïse Werner.

Some of our art is made on computers, some of it is made by hand. We are particularly interested in that gray area in between where you cant really tell. All of what we create here is one work laid out in segments, all connected. The Mystic Tape Deck universe is vast and explores all manner of adding meaning to our lives, while pondering meaninglessness.

Please consider supporting our project and helping us complete the work. We make books and cds that go with them. We also have a graphic novel and a custom oracle deck in the works. All part of the story.

A Multimedia Puzzle-Story Of An Immortal Being's Struggle To Define And Exert Their Will Upon A Wholly Deterministic And Ambivalent Multiverse, And The Strange Cult Who Loves Them.

--------

Greetings to you: readers, beaders, seekers, wanderers, wonderers, outsiders, rebels, fantasy gamers, freaks, mythologists, philosophers, appreciators, creators, perpetuators of beauty, coveters of mysterious objects, collectors of counter culture, the curious, the questioners, the unusual, the unique, the star children, the light workers, shadow integrators, diviners, alchemists, hermits, monks and popes, the saviors and prophets, the builders and destroyers of worlds, the old ones, the young ones, the rollers of boulders, the sun orbiters, the morning star dewdrops and twinkle toed dreamers of dreams, you mystic shining beacons, you crossers and denizens of the void, reality shapers, universe makers and underworld freaks.

"A prominent feature of avant-garde music is to break through various rules and regulations of traditional culture, in order to transcend established creative principles and appreciation habits. Avant-garde music pursues novelty in musical form and style, insisting that art is above everything else; thus, it creates a transcendental and mysterious sound world. Hint, metaphor, symbol, association, imagery, synesthesia and perception are widely used in avant-garde music techniques to excavate the mystery of human heart and the flow of consciousness, so that many seemingly unrelated but essentially very important events interweave into multi-level structures and forms."

This sounds a bit pompous but I will not be collaborating or sanctioning remixes for the next 12 months ie till October 2021. I want a complete break.

"Hullo, Michael," I said.
